Wow, We Day was simply an -amazing- experience. I really felt like I was back in high school again being in the ACC along with over 30,000 others - everyone screaming, chanting, and swaying in unison to the performances on stage. Everyone listening to and applauding the deeply moving stories delivered by peace activists, authors, motivators, and musicians.

The day started with a Me to We Style breakfast and me along with Brian and Rucha met two others - a special ed teacher and the founder of My City Lives. They were very interested in the work of TIG and encouraged us to contact the TDSB and make connections there. In general the Me to We Style people were really friendly and energetic!

From 9am to 2pm the ACC was just packed with so much energy, it felt like it'd never end. There were performances from Down with Webster, Greyson Chance, K'Naan, and a few others. In between the songs we heard speeches delivered by celebrities like Hedley, previous UK First Lady Cherie Blair, and Olympic gold medalist (and Canadian hero) Alexandre Bilodeau. I was literally on the edge of my seat the entire time!

I'm so grateful to TIG for these opportunities to learn, motivate, and have a great time doing it.
